Officials this week agreed to waive the bidding process for a project to replace flooring at the Ocean City convention center.
On Tuesday, the Ocean City Council agreed to sole source the purchase of sports flooring at the convention center through Sourcewell, a cooperative that helps governments secure products and services at the best price. Tourism and Business Development Director Tom Perlozzo said a municipal bond issuance will fund the $782,000 project.
“The flooring itself is going to be one of the largest in the U.S.,” he told the council, “and we should really see some economic opportunities with that flooring installation.”
Late last year, the council voted to move forward with a bond sale, which would fund several projects throughout town. Among them was a project to replace flooring at the convention center.
